assessment of the relation between serum zinc & magnesium levels in children with febrile convulsion
Authors
abstract
background and objectives: febrile convulsion is one of the most common types of seizure in childhood. its pathogenesis is unknown, so studying its cause is valuable. the purpose of this study was to determine the serum level of zinc and magnesium in children withfebrileconvulsion (f.c) (3 months to 6 years age). patients and methods: in this analytical case-control study, serum level of zinc and magnesium in 60 children with f.c in shahid beheshty hospital of kashan, center of iran, was determined. the control group was composed of febrile children with no seizure. all children in both groups were 3 months to 6 yr of age and had not any background of disorders. serum level of zinc & magnesium was determined by biochemical methods in all groups. finally, the data were analyzed by spss and t test. results: the mean serum level of zinc and magnesium in case group, was lower than that of zinc & magnesium in control group (p

full textSerum zinc and copper levels in children with febrile convulsion
Febrile convulsions (FC) are the most common neurologic disorder in children 6-60 months of age. Zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) play role as cofactors in more than 300 enzymatic activities significantly. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship serum levels of Zn and Cu with seizure occurrence in febrile children. In this case-control study, 270 children with 6 month to 6 years were ev...

Introduction: Epilepsy is one of the most common and chronic neurological diseases in children. The prevalence of this disease among children in Iran is estimated at 5%, which is higher than the average prevalence in other countries. Several studies have been done on the role of trace elements in serum and its role in the pathogenesis of epilepsy, but there is still little information on the ro...
